The review reports, citing Doerrfeld et al. (2012), that co-actors perceive the environment in terms of what they can do together, simulating intended actions based on their own motor systems. The review quotes that the perceptual system is optimized for guiding interactions with the environment.

"The belief of engagement with others (e.g., the act of two or more people lifting a box together) and the expectation created in the social realm impact both object perception (e.g., judgment of the weight of the box) and task execution (Doerrfeld et al., 2012)"
